Hopefully the new one will have the galaxy united with rainbows and sparkles shooting out its ass. i dont think i can handle another round of whinging from the "fans".

Anything is better than what they gave us originally. You can only go up from where they left off. Even if they made the ending a pure black screen that only ends when you turn the game off, it would be a better ending. I mean, we'd still get the same exact lack of closure and the same amount of questions answered (none), just no giant, glaring plot holes to go along with it, which is a step up from what we got.

Then you're not looking at what people are talking about, people are upset at - every - aspect of the ending. There's A LOT wrong with the ending, as I said a black screen would still have 0 closure, 0 answers to any questions, etc, and somethings suck about the ending like the mass relays being destroyed.

However, the most important thing to me personally about it is the glaring plot holes in the story that make the whole trilogy a waste of time (story wise that is, the combat/quests are fun).

The fact that there as so many people complaining about so many things, means the ending is flawed in not one way, but many, many ways. There's a lot of bad things in the ending to choose what you want to complain about, after all.

that's not what it means at all. popular demand does not equal correctness.

No, popular demand doesn't - having universe sized plot holes, having no understanding of what any of your crew (that you spend 100+ hours getting to know) are doing after it's all over, having no idea about the result of any of your decisions throughout the game are, and having 0 of your choices effect the outcome of the ending (which was advertised majorly by Bioware, btw, that your ending would be special for you depending on how you played all the 3 games) make it correct for them to make a new ending.

Most of the sobbing I saw was about the mass relays being destroyed. That's not a plot hole, it's a bunch of fans who can't handle anything less than a Happy Meal-packaged ending.

Plot holes in ME3 Ending!

1. Why is Joker going threw the Mass Relay when the battle for Earth was still happening. You mean to tell me that all of a sudden he just chickened out and abandon Shepard.

2. How is it that teammates that were on the ground for the final battle ended up right back on the Normandy while Joker was running. Last I check this wasn't the Star Trek Universe so teleporters are out of the question.

3. How did Anderson and the Illusive man get ahead of Shepard in the Citadel. They would have to go through Harbinger just like everyone else. Shepard had his damn armor burned off while both of them were unscathed.

4. How was it that the Alliance never noticed Anderson getting into the beam. When everyone got hit by the Harbingers beam they said over the radio no one made it.

5. The reapers reasoning for killing us. The reaper god child said they didn't want synthetics rising up and killing organics so to prevent this they, a group of living machines, decided to kill organics themselves. What sense does that make?

6. Shepard wiped out the entire universe. From the DLC Arrival to ME3 they had said that destroying a Mass Relay would turn a Solar System into ash. So everything that Shepard did up until this point was for nothing. No matter what choice he made he still destroyed the Earth and everyone else in the galaxy?

Their is more to list but I have to go to work. But those were just the icing on the cake.

These are the 3 that are the most obvious for me:

1. The child is the Catalyst, the Catalyst is the Citadel, the Catalyst controls the reapers (therefore, the Citadel and the catalyst are the same "person" and this person controls the reapers) since that is the case, why didn't he just... open up the citadel relay in ME1 to let the reapers in? What is the point of having Sovereign try to activate the Citadel (which is the boy and the Catalyst) when... the Catalyst (the boy) could have simply... activated it? He, after all, IS the Citadel. This makes the last two games completely pointless.

2. The mass relays destroy entire sectors of the solar systems when they are destroyed, we know this because this is exactly what happened at the end of the last ME2 DLC. Since all the relays are destroyed, it would cause an IMMENSE amount of damage, the vast majority of organic life would die from these explosions (we know this, again, from the DLC) - therefore, the same result the reapers were ordered to do, happens, so the entire point of the ending to make a choice so that you save lives, is irrelevant considering when you destroyed the mass relays, it destroyed the vast majority of life (same thing the reapers wanted). - edit: didn't notice you already put this one on your list, good stuff.

3. One you mentioned already, but I will expand on it. The purpose of the reapers is to kill all synthetic life and kill all but a tiny fraction of organic life so that it can evolve - the purpose of this is because synthetic life tends (based on a theory only) to kill its makers in the cycles. Our "cycle" has the Geth, they are our synthetic enemy. Not 3 hours before the final battle, we made complete peace with the Geth, Not only that, they are helping us fight the reapers, who are in fact the only actual threat to organic life (thus making the entire ending a giant plot hole).

There are even more still, but I need to hit the sack.
